Hello,
Is there a way to assign a nickname for different bank accounts and credit cards that are linked to the PayPal account?
I searched help and forum first, but found no answers. Thanks much for any help or advice.

I have accounts with several banks and they let me nickname my accounts on their online banking. This is helpful as I don't always remember the account numbers. Also, I have two checking accounts at one bank and if they each had a nickname, it would distinguish them so that I don't move money to/from the wrong account. PayPal should be at the forefront of allowing customization of the user's account, being a technology company. I am supprised by the lack of features they offer. Maybe this will change in the future.

I am not able to find a way to send a comment directly to PayPal so I will post my suggestion to them here. It is the same issue as this post. If you have multiple cc's stored, is hard to tell them apart:
Would you please consider at some point allowing the stored cards to have a "nickname" so that it is easier to distinguish them? (like "work card",' "home card", "I fix pipes Card", "ABC pulming card")

I have multiple credit cards... some of which are new to me... and I would like to add a nickname to the card(s). Seems to me to be a simple NON-Key field added to the list of credit cards. I've written things like this many times before. How about getting on the stick -- or at least making a promised delivery date?

Is there a way to give accounts "nicknames"? Instead of seeing the last 4 digits of each account and trying to remember which is which?

I would if I could, and then some. These are user to user forums. To leave feedback about the PayPal website: https://secure.opinionlab.com/ccc01/comment_card_d.asp

It seems I used to be able to assign a nickname to my bank accounts. I just added 2 more confirmed accounts and can't find a way to assign a nickname. Did they take this away?
